HYDROCARBONff-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 695,223, dated March 1 1, 1902.

Original application filed December 4, 1900, Serial No. 38,704. Divided and this application tiled .Tune 1, 1901. Serial No. 62,809. (No model) To all whom zt may concern,.-

Beit known that I, SAMUEL D. Morr, of Passaic, Passaic county, New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip tion.

My invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon-burners; and the object of my invention is to produce a very cheap and simple burner of this class which is preferably relatively at and thick, which has a series of air-jets extending through-it from bottom to top, an interior gas-chamber and gas-vents in close proximity to the gas-jets, which is adapted to be used in connection with any suitable hydrocarbon-injector or any device adapted to feed a volatilized hydrocarbon to it, and which is constructed so as to be readily heated to incandescence and to retain its heat sufficiently to again ignite the hydrocarbon even though the supply may have been temporarily shut oft. f

To these ends my invention consists of certain features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter de-v scribed and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar igures of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Figure l is a plan View of my improved burner. Fig. Y2 is a vertical cross-section on the line X X ot' Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a crosssection of a slightly modified form of the burner.

The burner 45 is preferably Hat and of a generally circular shape, although the shape is not material, and it is made in two piecesto wit, the dishin g top plate 46 and the baseplate 47, the latter being preferablyribbed on the bottom to give it necessary strength. The top plate is flanged, as shown in Fig. 2, and the two parts screwed or otherwise fastened together. The base-plate 47 has cast integral with it a series of air-jets 48, which extend upward through the gas-vents 48 in the top plate 46, and the top plate has also other vents 48" to make sure that there is l sufficient room for the expanded fuel to find its exit.

It will be noticed that the inverted-dish shape of the top plate 46 forms a gas-chamber in the burner in which the hydrocarbon may accumulate, and as there is a good deal of metal to theburner and it is heated to incandescence it gives the hydrocarbon an opportunity to gasify and so be rendered more perfectly combustible.

Theburner45 has con nections49,into which suitable injectors 10 may be made to deliver, and these injectors should be of such a nature as to discharge a highly-volatilized hydrocarbon into the chamber 0E the burner. A suitable device of this kind is the burnerde scribed in my application for Letters Patent, Serial No. 38,704, tiled December 4, 1900, of which application this case originally formed a part.

In addition to the connections 49 the burner is provided with a depressed connection 50, which may also be provided with a burner or injector 10, and this may bea pilot-burner or injector which can .be kept going when the other connections are shut od, so that suflicient fuel will be supplied to keep the burner hot without creating any intense heat,thereby adapting it especially to automobile-work and keeping it in readiness to quickly throw out a great heat when the full fuel-supply is turned on. The pilot-chamber 50 is in open communication with the main chamber of the burner, as shown in Fig. 2; but when only the pilot-burner is used there Will be merely sufficient heat to keep the casting hot, and when the main supply is turned on it will at once gasify and burn.

In Fig. 3 I have shown a modification of the burner illustrated in Figs. l and 2, and in this case I use a drum 5l, which has, preferably, separate bottom and top plates 5l and 5l". It has a connection 49 for a burner or injector l0 and is provided with a central chamber 52 to connect with a pilot-burner or injector, and for this is a central vent 53 for the flame of the pilot-burner. The drum has also a lower chamber 54, connecting with the chamber 52 and serving as a reservoir for the hy-1 drocarbon which enters the drum, and a chamber 55, near the top ofthe drum,which receives the atomized fuel from the burner or injector 1() rst mentioned. From this burner the hydrocarbon issues through the vents 51a, which are in close proximity to the vertical air jets or holes 56, which extend upward 4 pressed chamber, and fuel-supplies for the main chamber all substantially as described.

2. Ahydrocarbon-burnercomprisinga relatively flat two-part drum in the form of a casting, the lowerparthavingcast integral thereou a depressed chamber for a pilot or secondary fuel-supply and having a series of jetpipes for air leading upward from it and the upper part being adapted to t upon the lower part so as to form a main gas-chamber between the two parts, the upper part having also openings to surround the air-jets, and connections by which a fuel-supply may be delivered to the main gas-chamber and to the secondary chamber. v

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this specification in the presence of 35 two subscribing witnesses.
